Broadbench Broadbench — Two-Way Referral

We are delighted to announce a significant milestone in Nebula Finance's journey: a two-way referral partnership with Broadbench — an FCA-regulated specialist that shares our conviction that UK contractors deserve better.

This agreement marks more than a commercial relationship. It represents the broader ecosystem beginning to rally around the problem we set out to solve: that Ltd company contractors have been systematically underserved by generic accounting tools, and that the compliance burden they carry — IR35, Making Tax Digital, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax — demands a dedicated, intelligent platform built specifically for them.

Why Broadbench?

Broadbench is an FCA-regulated mortgage and insurance specialist that, like us, has built their entire business around the specific needs of UK contractors and self-employed professionals. The Broadbench team understands the day-to-day financial complexity our users navigate — and they have built a trusted brand doing so.

The two-way referral agreement means that Nebula clients who need specialist mortgage or insurance advice are directed to a qualified, regulated partner. And Broadbench clients who need AI-powered compliance and accounting are directed to us. It is a clean, complementary relationship that expands what both platforms can offer without either of us overreaching into the other's domain.

This is exactly the kind of partnership that should exist in the contractor fintech space — and we are proud to be building it.
